Lord of Arcane

Chapter 203
"Oh——" Fenovita suddenly showed a teasing and ambiguous expression on his face, "What did Lord Veranthor say?"

Veranthor is quite famous in the capital of Cormanthor, and there are countless romantic affairs about her. Of course, the most important thing is that this lord is a high-level mage.

In the royal capital, who doesn't know that Orlando from the Stardew family has just recently become the guest of Lord Veranthor, but everyone will not despise him because of this, but will be extremely envious.

Even Fenovita often lamented that he and his elder brother were similar in appearance, so why couldn't he be favored by Lord Veranthor!
cough--

Orlando, who was sized up by his younger brother with such ambiguous eyes, couldn't help coughing lightly, and slightly relieved his embarrassment, before saying:

"Veranthir asked me to restrain myself in Netheril."

Speaking of which, Orlando frowned. His recent action on the human side was just to send people to the Green Pearl Forest to search for the Stardew Scepter. How can there be any big moves?

Moreover, Veranthor was talking about "Netheril". He didn't believe that a high-ranking mage would not be able to tell the difference between "Netheril" and "Green Pearl Forest"!
Or is there something going on in Netheril that could affect him in Comanthor?
Orlando was puzzled, and Fenovita was also very puzzled, and even more suspicious that his brother was hiding something, "That's all? What else?"

"That's all." Orlando's tone changed, "You don't really think that she will tell me everything after I climbed into Veranthe's bed, do you? Remember, the power of outsiders is useless after all. You have a heart Thinking about this, you might as well think more about how to become a high-level mage, your talent is very good, don't let me down!"

"Yes." Fenovita lowered his head.

"Okay, don't be so serious." Orlando adjusted the magic circle in the courtyard with a wave of his hand, and a trace of cheerful music floated from a distance.

Fenoveta also raised his head, looked at the city of Comanthor with shining lights under his feet, and at the elves walking on the ground, suddenly he understood something.

The Xinglu family is high above the clouds, but there are countless elves below who want to step on them to climb up. The only support for the family is the high-level mage who is about to return to the kingdom of Alvandor.

Once that person leaves, maybe the Xinglu family will fall into the clouds.

Whether it is looking for the Stardew Scepter or making friends with other high-level mages, Orlando is all for this family, and Fenovetta suddenly wants to share some. He looked at his brother and said solemnly:

"Brother, let me find the Stardew Scepter!"

Orlando looked back, from his younger brother's eyes, he didn't see dissatisfaction and eagerness to express, but a little more calm and responsible.

Orlando thought for a while, and finally did not refuse this time, but he still reminded: "The family guard in the Green Pearl Forest is under your command. There must be a reason for Veranthor's warning. If possible, try not to have any conflicts with humans. Conflict, but this ultimately involves the Stardew Scepter, to what extent it can be achieved is up to you to judge."

"By the way, there is a small family on the border that seems to be inquiring about the Green Pearl Forest. It is probably asked by humans. Go over and warn them, so that they don't worry about it!"

"Yes." Fenovita nodded heavily, then turned and left.

And shortly after Fenovita left, Orlando's figure gradually merged into the night.

……

On the other side, after Xia Duo got the map of the Green Pearl Forest and returned to his residence, he immediately unfolded the map on the desk. The map was so large that it almost covered half of the desk.

From Saville Land in the north to the foot of Wolf God Mountain in the south, the Wolfburg River stretches across the north and south in the west, and blends into the Eastern Forest without boundaries in the east.

In other words, the Green Pearl Forest was originally part of the Eastern Forest, but the area south of Savile Territory was called the "Green Pearl Forest".

The map is very clear, as if it was photographed from a high altitude, and then artificially modified to highlight various markers.

Seeing this map, Xia Duo thought of the modern map on the earth. Except that this map is not marked with a scale, it is actually not much different from the modern map on the earth.

Xia Duo found the places he had walked during the orc war last year almost at a glance.

With such a precise map, Xia Duo couldn't think of any other possibility except magic. It's not like he hasn't seen ordinary maps in the library, but those maps are very abstract.

Most of them only have some routes, and there are almost no terrains, signs, etc., and some are just thought out by the creators.

For example, a 〇 plus a point in the center of the circle may refer to a symbol carved on the tree by the maker. As for where the tree is, only the maker knows.

Of course, it may also refer to a stone in a certain place, but as long as there is no set of common marking standards, it is impossible to directly use someone else's map.

Now that the lord gave him this map, it might be an expression of the lord's sincerity.

Xia Duo casually took a piece of hemp thread from his clothes and made a two-inch ring. Given a certain circumference, the circle has the largest area. To enclose land, of course, it is necessary to enclose a circular piece of land.

First, he made two gestures on the map, and compared some familiar terrains, Xia Duo roughly judged that the land promised to him by the lord was not too small.

It is almost a circle with a diameter of 5 miles. If you just look at it from the map, this circle only occupies a small part of the Green Pearl Forest.

But the reality is that Xia Duo is very worried about how much can be developed in three years. According to the development standard on the "pioneer" gold paper document, it needs immigrants to produce and be self-sufficient.

The lord may relax the conditions for him a little bit, but he will definitely not relax much. Thinking about it now, the lord promised to open up the part beyond 5 miles within three years, which is also counted as him. do it.

If you want to open up a territory in the forest, first of all, how to clean up the trees within a diameter of 5 miles is a big problem.

Fortunately, the three-year agreement is only an incentive part. If Xia Duo is not aggressive, he can slowly develop the 5-mile land.

With this territory, there is no need to go to Kangqi City to play with trolls, gnolls, and orcs, which is really terrible.

……

When choosing the location of the territory, Xia Duo had two considerations, one was the development potential, and the other was the convenience of transportation.

To sum it up, Xia Duo has two options. One is to take Saville to the city of Conifera. If there is a place for the caravan to rest halfway, it must be profitable, and the immigration is also convenient.

The other is similar to Savile Land. Go south along the Wolfburg River, find a place near the river, and mainly use waterways for transportation. There is also a basin lake in the lower reaches of the Wolfburg River. The scenery is good, and there are often Nether People go on excursions, vacations.

It must be very good to rest in many places on the road. At that time, like Savile, he can build a villa area and engage in real estate.

Of course, this can only be done after his mage tower is built, otherwise no one wants their villa to be precarious.

Thinking about it, Xia Duo couldn't help laughing out loud.
